“You've never stood in another man's shoes Or saw things through his eyes Or stood and watched with helpless hands While the heart inside you dies. So help your brother along the way No matter where he starts. For the same God that made you, Made him too, these men with broken hearts.”

Blinky you were an absolute legend. Every time we met you lit up my life with your amazing kind fun loving energy. You were an inspiration on all boards and your style on a snowboard will always inspire and froth me up for years to come. I’ll be riding balls deep in powder, going fast as fuk on a skater and getting as deep as I can in the barrel for you my brother. Blinky’s legacy will live on all in all of us forever. Miss you and love you homie
